The Mossos d'Esquadra police force arrested four people this February after discovering a hidden marijuana plantation inside an industrial warehouse that posed as a logistics distribution company.

The police investigation uncovered the true activity of a warehouse located in Barberà del Vallès, within the Vallès Occidental region. Although the building appeared to be a legal distribution center from the outside, the interior housed a complex infrastructure for mass drug cultivation.
During the search of the facilities, Catalan police officers seized a total of 1,260 plants of marijuana at various stages of growth. The operation concluded with the arrest of four men allegedly involved in managing the crop and distribution logistics.
This intervention is part of an ongoing crackdown on criminal networks using industrial estates in the Sabadell area and neighboring municipalities to hide narcotics production centers under the guise of legitimate business activities.
